MEGA
HYPER GALACTIC CONQUEST

MHGC is your typical expand / grow / kill everyone else space conquest game.
The name is derived from an old game I wrote and ran at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute (RPI or the 'tute) and HyperEconomic Diplomacy (a.k.a. GeoDiplomacy or
Geodip). I was playing Geodip at the time I became motivated enough to ruin my
life with this incredible time sink. The game is at best vaguely related to
either of these preceding games, so don't base any strategies on the name
selection.

In the game, players attempt to balance expansion, capital investment,
technology investment, and military conquest in order to be crowned "Grand
Poohba of the Universe."

MHGC has a web based front end (or you can do straight ascii text via a web
interface if you like that sort of thing).
